Rhee will be fine; she doesn't need DC anymore. what happens to the schools and the kids... I remain hopeful...and very glad I do not have kids, or I would not be living (and trying to educate them) here.GlassPennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-58813068730719715442010-09-20T01:47:42.838-05:002010-09-20T01:47:42.838-05:00re: the video.
